“I know we talk a lot about God's will for us, what He wants to do in the world, and things like that, but what is the devil's plan for all this? Or does the Bible say anything about this?”
“Where did the Bible come from? I know it’s made up of a lot of different books, but who decided to put them together into one large book?”
“I've gotten myself into a hole financially because I just can't seem to say no when I go shopping. I love to shop, and it's only later that I stop to think about the consequences. I know this isn't a spiritual issue, but maybe you can suggest something.”
“I've tried to go to church, but I just don't fit in. I can't afford fancy clothes, and anyway,being a single mom kind of puts me outside their normal pattern. Do you think God will understand how I feel?”
“How long will it take us to get to heaven, once we die? Will it be like space travel is today, taking maybe millions of years to get there?”
“I don't understand my husband. We've been married almost 62 years, and in the last year or so he's gotten more and more forgetful, and he also gets angry and difficult to live with. I just don't know what to do. Do you have any advice?”
“I've heard that your name has to be written in something called “the book of life” before you can enter heaven. What is “the book of life”? I didn't grow up in a religious family, and I'm afraid I'll miss heaven because I'm not in “the book of life,” whatever that is.”
“Now that you're older, how do you spend your time? I know you aren't preaching, but are you doing other things? I've just retired, and I'm beginning to wonder what I'm going to do with so much time on my hands.”
“Our son divorced his wife two years ago, and now we get to see our grandchildren (who are with her) only a couple of times a year. This breaks our hearts, but neither our son nor his ex-wife seem to care. Can we do anything about this?”
“I feel so guilty. We tried our best to raise our children to believe in Jesus and do what's right, but now that they're adults none of them goes to church or has any use for God. Where did we go wrong?”
“My aunt raised me, and when she died last year I felt like a part of me had died with her. Now, a friend of mine says she knows someone who can put me in contact with her spirit. I guess I’ve always been suspicious of such things, but why shouldn’t I give it a try?”
“Do people who’ve died and gone on to heaven know what’s going on down here on earth? I’d like to think my parents know what’s happening with their grandchildren, but maybe that’s just wishful thinking.”
